This is our second project with Perma-Seal. The first experience was excellent so we asked for them to complete three new projects. Our estimated, Dick, was very knowledgeable and well prepared to evaluate our project and quote a solution. We are very pleased with Perma-Seal.

Raul, Isai and Bernardo did a Excellent job and answered all my questions….Perma-Seal, I will recommend you and your team to my friends.

Outstanding tech installed the system explaining the process every step of the way. Very professional, skilled and well trained employee. Made sure I understood the operation of the system before he left the property.

I was so impressed with the job done by Vicente today. He explained everything he did. The area was immaculately clean when he left… he even remembered to close the windows we opened for improved ventilation and rehung the curtains we took down! Job well done, Vicente. Thank you.

Mike T was able to identify the source of the leak in the basement wall very quickly. He presented the possible solutions and advised as to the most efficient and economical fix. The service call was scheduled very easily and we expect the repair to go smoothly. He also noted issues with the window wells in the foundation and I was able to add those repairs to the service call.

Mike Tigge has been an awesome resource for us! We first met him 10 years ago when he inspected our leaky foundation and correctly diagnosed the repairs. Then he helped us after a major flooding problem with an ejector pit and overhead sewer piping to prevent more sewer backups during huge storms. He came out again recently to evaluate our basement for interior drain tile. Mike really knows his stuff, and we’re happy to know him through Permaseal.

We just moved into a house that needed a lot of work done. One of the major projects that we need to tackle is the basement and the foundation crack/sump pump/ and overall getting the basement up to par and in working order. Mike Tigges came out today to provide a quote/consultation and he did an awesome job. We had another appointment scheduled for a competitor later this month and I ended up just cancelling it. He took care of everything! Looking forward to finally checking this project off our huge project list.

After visits from from other competitors who would not open the wall to determine where the leak was, Perma-Seal Technician Michael M. had no problem cutting through the drywall. We were able to see the cement cracks and offered a few options. Proactive and solution minded companies are essential to homeowners and Perma-seal offer both. We almost canceled our visit– so glad we didn’t.

We would like to comment the professional work that Jesus Rivas and Julio Alvarado when installing the waterproofing system in our basement. They were clean, courteous, and fast. We would highly recommend Perma-Seal and their crew. Good work Jesus ans Julio!

1:05 am, April 30 – The new sump pump/pit/window drainage installed in July 2019 is perfect.Without it, we would have every window well full of water and at least a few inches of water in the basement.The pump cycles every couple of minutes, and I’d estimate the sump pit is receiving a couple of gallons of ground water every minute.Sure hope it stops raining soon.Thanks for the excellent system.

Pedro came with two works and finished the job in one day.They worked very hard and left the place in good condition. I have no complaints about the workers. Hoping my basement keeps dry.

Tony from Perma-Seal was very thorough and explained about the problems with our foundation and what corrective actions should be taken to resolve the issue step by step. Very exceptional!

We own a home built in 1928 and had noticed wall cracks in one corner area of the house which kept reappearing. Having experience in residential housing, I decided that we had settling issues in on corner of our house. I knew of Perma-Seal from listening to Lou Manfredini and thought I would give them a call to have a look at what was going on. The sales rep agreed with my diagnosis and we scheduled the work. The price quote was fixed and was right in alignment with what I anticipated. The workers showed up as planned and were very knowledgeable about foundations. In the process, we found that the foundation had been poured without footings! (I guess that’s how they did things in those days?) That was not a problem for the push-post pinning system that Perma-Seal uses. They proceeded to install the underpinnings, patch the concrete cuts, and clean up. Would I use them again? Absolutely! In particular, if we have other foundation issues, they will be my first call.

My experience went very well. The staff was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable in their field. The pricing was reasonable and I was pleased with the outcome of the service. I would recommend this company to others. They came to seal the cracks in the foundation.

Everything was great!! Very Professional. Price was MUCH less than I expected it to be for the foundation repair job. Would very highly recommend.

Dealing with Perma-Seal was a great experience from the small repair price to dealing with the people. Our basement consultant answered every questions and explained everything clearly. Awesome job on our basement!

Found a large crack in the foundation during a bathroom remodel. This crack was not actively leaking but it was large enough that it took more time and material to fix. The person that performed the work was courteous and cleaned up after himself.

Just terrific!! Smooth from beginning to end! My Agent, Don was kind, thorough and provided great information and education regarding my basement. He well prepared me for the work that the installation crew would complete. There were no surprises and the project was well done by a team of two super guys, who were professional, courteous and did a great job!

I am delighted with the work and the results. I was sorry my house foundation needed the work, but the workers and the work they did is outstanding!

I had the option of using another contractor, but I chose to have Perma-Seal perform the interior crack repairs because I trust their years of experience and excellent reputation as a foundation repair company in Chicago.

They were extremely professional and did excellent work. The workers kept everything very clean considering they were digging up our basement floor which can cause quite a mess. They worked quickly and there were no issues throughout the entire process. I would certainly recommend them to a friend. They are probably not the cheapest service out there, but when you’re dealing with your foundation I would not want to be going with the cheapest, but the ones who do the job well.

I hired them to seal cracks in my foundation, install a sump pump, an injector pump, and installed drain tile. They completed the work within a couple of days. I chose them for the job because they offered the best rate for the all the services to be completed. Everything was fine.

Had an issue with the sumps in the main pit, there are two pits, each with a main pump and a back up. The main pit receives continuous water after storms and winter melts that even neighbors have commented how often the sump runs. Gina reviewed the situation and provided options of what could be done to highly reduce the risk of my basement flooding. She was patient, detailed, professional, knowledgeable, and overall wanted to provide the correct solution. I very much appreciated her work and friendliness, she provided peace of mind. I have been a Perma Seal customer for almost ten years and all of my interactions have been professional including the folks who schedule the calls to those who do the field work.

Perma-Seal didn’t take any shortcuts when it came to water proofing my basement. They installed a complete drain system, sump pump and sealed all the cracks that were causing water seepage. All I can say is it’s been almost 6 months and not a leak yet.

They replaced two basement window wells & capped them, fixed/sealed a leak in the basement wall, and replaced a sump pump.

I battled leakage from a useless ash pit located next to my basement fireplace for many years. Because it only seemed to cause an issue after ongoing, ground saturating rains I put up with the inconvenience of sucking water out with a shop-vac and dumping it into either the existing sump pit or laundry room sink when it filled up after sucking the water every 10-15 minutes so it would not flood my family room. This happened a couple times a year, but last winter & spring were the final straws. After coming home after a weekend getaway to a completely flooded family room due to a heavy winter rain that seeped down my foundation due to frozen ground, I’d had enough and decided to do something about it as soon as the ground thawed. Unfortunately, a flooding, ongoing rain hit before I made any calls and I spent 48 hours, sucking water out of that ash pit EVERY 5 minutes around the clock…dumping 108, 6 gallon shop-vacs into the sump pit!!! I spoke with several companies but at this point I really wanted the Cadillac of companies and called PermaSeal because I’d heard & read nothing but rave reviews. When Ron Rodriguez came out to assess the issue, he showed me a detailed power point presentation that explained the process and answered all of my questions! He was so personable and professional that it really eased my concerns and I was convinced I had made the right decision. The work crew was also amazing! They were all so pleasant and so consciensus about maintaining the condition of my yard while doing the deep trenching required to repair the issue. They also completed the job in an unbelievable time span. The 8-10 foot deep trench across the front of my house was opened up the first day and when they cleaned things up to leave for the day, I panicked a bit due to a heavy rain forecast for that night! When I talked to the foreman, he said, you are good to go – no worries… Your drainage pipes are installed and connected to your new sump system that’s working just fine! It poured pitch forks & hammer handles that night and although I camped out in the basement to keep an eye on the ash pit, it stayed bone dry…and has been ever since!!! The work was completed by noon the day and my yard was immaculate! I could not recommend PermaSeal’s quality and the people who make up every aspect of their business more highly!

Excellent!

Adam, Tyler and Javier are great guys and do great work!

Concrete repair (drop of over 4”) between patio and house.

Repair was needed for over 30 years!

Finally made the call to Permaseal.

Timing was perfect because we will be able to pass guarantee along to next homeowner when we retire in 4 years!

Prior to today’s appointment I received a mailing from Perma-seal that provided details of the various issues that a home can experience, some of which I learned listening to Roy Spencer on WGN radio shows. I was sent email reminders of my appt which even included a reminder to ask about current discounts!
Met with Jim Gannon who did a thorough inspection of my home’s foundation and brick issues as well as rerouting gutter drainage. Jim was respectful of my time as a caregiver and provided me with his findings and recommendations, including video examples of the work to make sure all of my questions were answered. I look forward to having the work completed knowing the improvements will only add to the value of my home for years to come. (and provide another 5 stars afterward)

This service is highly recommended. We got our concrete patio lifted and we had some questions about the results. They did not hesitate to send someone out to adjust it and make it completely perfect. The crew was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to when figuring out the best approach, and completed the job to our satisfaction like true professionals. In this day and age, customer service is the most valuable commodity, and these guys are cornering the market on it…thanks so much! (Repairs done 8-16-21)

Mike Tigges was a pleasure to work with on a quote for raising several sections of the concrete sidewalk leading to our front porch. He arrived exactly on time, took the time to understand what I was trying to do, and he offered several additional helpful suggestions. I signed the contract on the spot which earned a 10% discount. I hope the actual work is as professional as the sales consultant!

My driveway had been sinking very slowly since we moved in 15 yrs ago. I assumed paying a lot of money to have my driveway replaced was the only option, until a neighbor told me about Perma-seal. I was a little skeptical, but his driveway looked great. I got an estimate from Perma-seal and the work was done in Nov 2020. I was home when the work was done and watched the entire process. I was completely impressed with the professionalism, work ethic and friendliness of the Perma-seal team which was led by Xavier Esteban, and was especially impressed with the results. The driveway slabs were 2-3′ below the garage floor and they are now exactly level with the garage floor with a beautiful expansion joint seal. The Perma-seal team could not have done a better job. I asked a TON of questions to understand how it all worked and Xavier and his partner were interested in explaining how everything worked. They really seemed to like what they were doing. They said every job is different and is a challenge. A really excellent job by a great team. I highly recommend Perma-seal.

Ramon Duron cheerfully repaired my floors to my satisfaction. He is a credit to the Permaseal family!

Both Noe F & Marcos A did an outstanding job working on my house,they were extremely professional and Expedient and also personable I highly recommend using Perma Seal their sales team,customer service and best of all their excellent service providers

Today I received an excellent consultation service from Michael Medrys. He was extremely professional and knowledgable in answering all my questions and concerns regarding the concrete lifting job I’d like to get done. He also provided consultation on other jobs Permaseal does in my basement. Looking forward to making a decision soon and getting the work started.

My sales representatives John Ferguson was awesome. Very polite, professional and educational on all things concrete! Would highly recommend to any and all customers with basement needs.

John Fergerson was here today. He explained everything very well and was very knowledgeable. We are so happy to have gone with your company. He listened to all of our concerns and suggested products that we should get. Thank you

Will Burgess was very professional, helpful, patient and a pleasure to work with.

Jesse was very good and gave me good advice.

When Austin Reed came to check our sump pump system he could not have been more professional and courtesy as well as patient and persistent. He was trying to identify the exact source of our problem with the ejector pump. What a great asset he is to your team!!

I was expecting to replace my backup batteries for my sump pump backup system. I was also getting my annual service done.

Antonio informed me that my batteries did not need to be replaced. I appreciate his honesty.
